Strawberry 'Florian' Everbearer - 15 Seeds

The attractive blossom pink flowers of Strawberry 'Florian' are followed by a heavy crop of good sized, juicy, red fruits from July to September. This delicious everbearing variety can be grown outdoors or under glass, but as it fruits from its runners as well as the main plant, Strawberry 'Florian' is ideal for growing in hanging baskets on a sunny patio. Height: 8 inches. Spread: 12 inches.

Sow strawberry seeds from January to April at 15-21C (59-68F) on the surface of a good quality seed compost. Do not cover the seed. Keep the soil damp but not wet and do not exclude light as this helps germination. Place in a propagator or seal the seed tray inside a polythene bag until after germination, which usually takes 14-21 days. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant and grow them on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors.

When strawberry plants are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting outdoors in their final positions. Grow strawberries in full sun in fertile, moist, well drained soil at a distance of 30cm (12") apart.
